Your quick response is greatly appreciated on this one

Create a new function named from_string that takes two arguments: a date as a string and an strftime-compatible format string, and returns a datetime created from them.

timestrings.py 
## Examples
# to_string(datetime_object) => "24 September 2012"
# from_string("09/24/12 18:30", "%m/%d/%y %H:%M") => datetime
import datetime

def to_string(date_time):
    return date_time.strftime("%d %B %Y")

to_string(datetime.datetime.now())
